Hi guys, i looked at the list of all the rims styles, these look kindof like style 78's.
I'm pretty sure these came on e46 325's as an option

Pretty much anything you know about these rims i'd appreciate it, all i know is they're 18's, and i think staggered.

I think you're right, all the pics i find are like 2 X 6 DPI though, anyone got any? a non-angled sideshot would be best, i gotta chop these onto another car.

thats the rims I have on my 03 330ci Pirelli P Zero Nero tires. the same as listed with the 255's in the rear and 225's in front. came with the rims but i added the tires. Were these rims not an option for an 03? i like them a lot out of all the other "factory" rims.

I got them for cheap since no one seemed to have wanted them, they're actually really growing on me. I'd still like to chop them onto my e36, but can't find a decent picture of the rims.

Thanks for all the help guys. One of my friend pchopped em for me (whoever's car this is, looks mint, almost exactly like mine)

he chopped 19's on the front, and 17's on the bottom.

hollywoods + photoshop = bad

They were the 18" optional wheels on 330's.

And ask on maX next time...:P

I have an extra set of almost new (90%+ tread) tires to fit those wheels. They are Michelin Pilot Sports 225/40/18 88Y (2 fronts) and 255/35/18 90Y (2 rears). These are the actual tires BMW puts on their 18" wheels. I'm not trying to part with them really, but if you make a good offer I just might. FYI...

I have an 03 330 CI and those are the factory rims when ordering sport package or sport suspension, mine have m3 emblems on them

It seems you all have figured out that those are from a 330, but they look extremely similar to rims that can be found on a 7 series. They are a bitch to clean. (trust me i know, im a car wash boy at the dealer)
